The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has charged the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) boss, Alhaji Murtala Muhammad, to scale up his performance.

The House equally advised him to buckle up or immediately tender his resignation letter to Gov. Abdullahi Sule, flaying his incompetency.

The Chairman., House Committee on Planning, Budget, and SDGs, Mr. Mohammed Muluku, gave the advice when the SSA on SDGs appeared before the committee on its 2021 budget assessment in Lafia on Wednesday.

Muluku, the most ranking member in the state assembly, who frowned at the poor performance of the SDGs office, said that if something was not done urgently to reposition the agency, its goals would be defeated.

He emphasized that during the last administration in the state, SDGs was one of the most outstanding life-touching agencies that impacted positively on the lives of rural dwellers in the state.

The chairman wondered why the setback during the present administration that is working hard to change the fortune of the people of the state.

“I am highly disappointed with the performance of SDGs. I am wondering what the problem is that SDGs of all agencies will perform just 10 percent of its total budget and this ball bounces back to the head of the agency,” he said.
